take-up rate

「捕捉率」。

メルボルンのメットカードと呼ばれる公共交通の乗車賃金システムの失敗に続き、またかの政策失敗。税金を使う前に、もっと頭使ってほしいものです。

The Ageの記事、'Helmet law makes nonsense of bike hire scheme' by CLAY LUCASから。

'MELBOURNE'S $5.5 million bike share scheme isn't attracting many users, and Mike Rubbo reckons he knows why: the helmets.

Fewer than 70 trips are being made a day on Melbourne's 600-bike system, a tiny number of journeys compared with the take-up rate seen in bigger schemes introduced in 135 cities around the world.

Mr Rubbo, a Sydney filmmaker and bicycle blogger, will try to underscore his argument on Saturday morning by leading a protest ride from Melbourne University without a helmet, risking a fine of $146. He wants Roads Minister Tim Pallas to follow Mexico City's lead and waive compulsory helmet laws for the bike-share scheme'.
